Further Evidence that the Reports from
the Indiana Railway Horror We're Doc
tOreJ by the Company.
CHICAGO, Ill, October I3.-Concerning
he Chicago q Atlantic horror, the Inter
Ocean has particularly significant inter
view with Dr.. G. II. Mcclure, Of Boone
Grove:
CHOSE remains which were recovered are
Of perFons who we're sitting near the win
dow5 and fell outward, when the charred
frame work fell to pieces, but those w-O
were sitting inside and whose remains fell
on the rails were burned to powder and not
a vestige of them, except perhaps a few
pieces Of bone, could be found. The heat
between the rails was sufficient to have cal
cined and destroyed all remains. In
such a heat, when the charred mass
cooled, it would 90 to powder by embers
failing on 1t and nothing would ever be
known Of them. I was told by one of the
5.re-kers that he saw little heap, Of bones,
and tlI5 was corrObOraLed by the statements
of others, nd doubtless that was all that re-
manned of those who fell between the tracks.
for when the heat Is sufficient TO make the
rails underneath red hot and TO warp and
bend them ii every conceivable shape, it is
almost as intense as IN a crenatoTy.
DR.. Mcclure states the number burned
7
the wounded, he speaks definitely, and his
total s even higher than the press estimate.
DR.. Mcclure says
Eat NIiller's hotel. in Kout, after the acct
dent, there were seven ladies and ten men,
making seventeen in all
He got the name aud address Of the lady
mentioned IN the press reports as having
done most heroic work 4 the wreck, help
ing others to escape. Here 1t l.: Mrs. John
Wausinger, Carey. WyandOtte county, Ohio
J. A. Frederick, who lives at kout, and
failed to get aboard the train at Hammond
said he knew there were over fifty passeu-
gers aboard the train when it left Ham
mond.
The Daily Ne1rs has q special from Wa
bash, saying: Lew Thorn, a well known
travelling man, interviewed the porter of the
rear Pullman car on the train wrecked AZ
KOut. The porter stated that the tickets in
the possession of the conductor showed that
nineteen passengers were missing. The
porter himself colnted fifteen bodies, all
burned to crisp.

Owens, the Thieving Express Messenger
COnfesses and Directs the Detectives to
the Doodle.
CHICAGO, October ia Nslgs specia
says this morning: 1t now appears that
misleading clues were thrown out regarding
the Pacific express steal. 1t was said yes
terday that there had been no robbery at
all, but facts are furnished by the Pinkerton
agency that Messenger j. B. Owens stole
about $4,000, which be brought to St.
Louis and buried near the outskirts Of that
city. Owens then came to Chicago
and went directly to the home
Of his brother in-laW, Mr.. Iiche-
ner. Meanwhile detectives had inter
cepted telegram from Owens TO his wife,
In which he stated that every thing would
turn out all right and told her not to be
alarmed. detective PinkertOn then went
to the fremont house and arrested Owens
as he was returning from drive. At nrst
he was very stubborn and refused to talk
about the robbery, but upon the failure Of
his wife TO appear as she had promised, ne
broke down and made a confession, telling
where he ha planted the money. Pinker-
ton accordingly left with, Ovens tuesday
night for st. Louis, and a dispatch was
received here yesterday stating that S25,OUO
OF the money had been recovered and there
was no doubt that the balance Of the missing
money would be found IN a short time. The
company will probably not prosecute Owens.

THE ROADS COURSE.

A Very Flip Clerk Well Trained to Repre-
sent His Ihief-NOns of the Newspapers
Business.
CHICAGO, October 1.-THE intense Sc
cretiveness Of the employees Of the Chicago
& Atlantic railway regarding the disastrous
collision at KOut ELECTED much indignant
comment in this city to-day. When the first
iutimatiOn of the catastrophe was received
IN Chicago, application for information was
at once made by reprssentatls es OF the As
ISOLATED Press TO the general officers of the
company. The only result Obt8inable was
the statement thatnO officer of the company
was in the city. that no relief OF any kind
had been sent from Chicago and IN short
that no word had been received of any acci-
dent whatever. Quite similar was the course
since pursued at the company'a headquar-
ters. An evening paper says.
General Manager BrOughtOn was not v1sl-
bic at the Office Of the Chicago d Atlantic
railway to-day. he had well trained chief
clerk there to represent him, however. The
clerk could not tell whether Mr.. BrOughtOn
would be in to-day until he learned the call
er's business. The reporter said:
II would like TO obtain an expression re-
gardlng certain rules OF railroads when one
train is following another, and which, 1t is
alleged, were violated or ignored at the AOui
accident"
The accident is none of the newspapers
business and none of the public's business.
rushing of to an accident, they would get
the facts more nearly right. 1t is none of
their business, anyway"
The young man was getting very angry.
''Ihe public thinks 1t is its business when
a lot of people are killed and unknown per
sons burned beyond recognition Nobody
he yesterday would or did give any infOr-
nation about the accident. I am here
now for information" said the reporter.
''Ihe neWsp .pers are always diving where
they have no business. The newspaper men
down there at KOut yesterday acted ike a
lot Of fools. You don't expect US to show
you our rules, do you2 See that" snatch
ing up a book OF time tables and rules.
Printed across these are the words: These
rules are for the guidance and information
Of employees o ,ly and are not for the pub
lie. The road reserves the right TO change
them at pleasure
1t was impossible to obtain information OF
courtesy from the clerk, but the one crumb
was obtained that 'All the officers are doing
what they can. The newspapers can print
what they please, but they do it at their per-

CHICAGO, October 13.-H. De Young, pro
prietOr of the San Francisco Chronicle, in
an interview with a Journal reporter this
evening, in speaking of the effects of the
passage of the interstate commerce bill on
the business interests Of the Pacific slope,
said:
The people were and are still strongly
IN favor OF the interstate bill. Of course
the railroads attempted to make it as
OdIOus as possible by heavy
increase in freight and passenger charges,
but the laws of trade soon regulated that, for
the prices they put upon products were ssm-
ply prOhiDitOry and there was no shipping
of any kind until the railroads came back to
a fair price; and as a na-ural result of their
attemUJ to increase freights, We received the
benefit We expected to the fostering of home
manUtac. cries. One of the results of the
bill has been to force our merchants INTO
patVOuiZiug home manufactures, and our
nail works, type found les, paper mills,
wool mills glass works and other manufac-
tories have ben running on full time with
large contracts ahead
